DAC with the best midrange ever.....

Well thanks all of you.
What I am looking for is not here yet I trust since I am always comparing my digital to the Analog rig I have and thats just not going to fly at the moment.

Hey Mr. Tennis,

You must be referring to the Exemplar DAC that you AGREED to sell me and then decided to be dishonest and unethical by not selling it. Interesting how you can post here while knowingly being dishonest and an outright liar.

Your comments hold ZERO credibility much like your character and the way you’ve conducted yourself. You should be ashamed that you call yourself a professional audio reviewer.

Not to mention his "reviews" read like a robot is examining the equipment. I find them pretty useless.

I owned most of Audio Alchemy's DACs during the 1990's. The final product, the DDE v3.0 was the most accurate, but the XDP had a very seductive midrange.

XDPs appear on eBay from time to time--probably less than $200.

I have no idea how anyone would define best midrange, much less, best midrange in the mind of someone else. All I can say is that I have heard, and liked the Aero Capitole, I use to own the SCD-1, and I currently own a Naim CD555. I like what the Naim does, overall, but, I can't say it is because of any particular strength, such as the midrange.

I also like, very much, DACs from Audionote. I know a number of people with DAC5s (really expensive), and one person who built their top-of-the-line kit (including all upgraded parts). That DAC is really good, particularly at the price of the unbuilt kit. The sound is very relaxed, natural, and warm without being sluggish and without rounding off detail, attack or upper frequency "air."
